Yeah, if they can fit an 8B model that's really good at improving the output by thinking, running at 16K tok/s on Taalas would be mind-blowing.

Given this and the quality of open models, it makes no sense to me that there’s a future for Anthropic et all?

  • Packaging a capability into a consumable form will still be business.

    It's like web hosting; all the open source tools are there and free, and yet website tools, hosts, etc flourish.

    • It’s true, but hosting prices are still within spitting distance of rolling it yourself.

      SOTA providers are expecting some level of margin. Companies everywhere have a tight eye on their AI bills right now.

      The motivation is there if the models get good enough, even if it’s more painful.
